Valyan Mythology

The ancient Valyan people have long held myths and stories about the creation of the world. The Valyan Myths are generally recognised as symbolic fables conveying an ancient, spiritual philosophy; rather than as literal accounts of events.

The Gods and Goddesses of Valyan Myth

The ancient stories mention the following:

• Zeny - Goddess of the Sky; the matriach figure of Valyan Myth and most senior of the gods
• Thol - Goddess of the Understorm; the classic antagonist of the myths, but never portrayed as outright evil, also holds the power of thunder
• Nahl - God of the Sun; bringer of life and animator of spirits
• Rhiannon - Goddess of the Night; often an enigmatic figure with a vengeful nature, associated with the moons and fertility
• Thiros - God of Law; bringer of order, stability and justice
• Mygos - God of Chaos; associated with freedom, change and redemption
• Tethys - Goddess of Winds; also associated with wealth, often seen in statue form as a charm in the ships and houses of merchants or businessmen
• Bohr - God of the Cosmos; connotations with death, but as a conclusive force rather than as destroyer
